Abstract
Transomental hernia is a very rare condition with less than 50 cases reported. This hernia nearly always causes bowel obstruction and may result in a high mortality rate because of strangulation and gangrene. A typical case of transomental hernia is presented and the literature is reviewed with emphasis on the need for early diagnosis and operation.Entities:
